She is in the fog

August 2024, 8, Nanzhou City Public Security Bureau.
Li Fang, captain of the anti-drug brigade, looked at the letter of request for battle handed over by He Xi and couldn't help but frown. The scene was very silent for a while, and even the air around them was stagnant.

After a while, Li Fang put down the letter of request, looked up at He Xi who was standing straight in front of her, and said with a serious expression: "Xiao He, there are already enough members to carry out this mission. You just solved a big case a few days ago, and the organization has granted you a week off. You should have a good rest."

He Xi's attitude was very firm. She said, "Captain Li, this mission is very dangerous. Transfer me up and let Qin Yiran come down. You know, she is an only child. She has parents, grandparents, and a happy family. She shouldn't put herself in danger."

Hearing this, Li Fang hesitated for a moment. She picked up He Xi's letter of request again and said slowly, "You go back first. I will think about it again."

"Thank you, Captain Li."
He Xi stepped out and closed the office door.

September 2024, 9, Monday, sunny.

In an abandoned factory in the urban-rural junction of Nanzhou City, two groups of people are conducting a dirty and evil deal. However, members of the drug enforcement team have already ambushed the criminals and are determined to catch them all.

He Xi also wanted to go deep into the enemy camp and arrest the so-called "Yanhuo" personally to find out his true identity.

However, the task given to her by the organization was to guard the north exit with Sun Chi to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, so she had no choice but to obey.

After an unknown amount of time, Sun Chi lost his patience and murmured, "Sister Xi, what do you think is going on inside? Why has there been no movement for so long?"

"Don't talk," He Xi said coldly, "Concentrate and observe carefully."

At the critical moment, you can't be careless.

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang" sound, and not far away, a nimble figure was running towards this side.

He Xi immediately fired a warning shot, but he didn't expect the other party to not only not give in, but also threw a black object towards their position.

He Xi suspected it was a grenade, and quickly threw Sun Chi to the ground and protected him under his body.

After not hearing any explosion for a long time, He Xi realized that he had been tricked. He looked up and found that the other party was preparing to climb over the wall.

The other party was suspected of carrying dangerous goods and resisting arrest, and even ignored He Xi's warning shots. She gritted her teeth and pulled the trigger decisively, hitting him in the calf. He trembled, but endured the pain and climbed out of the wall.

He Xi hurriedly chased after him.

In an old alley in the urban-rural fringe of Nanzhou City, He Xi approached the man at the corner of the alley with a gun in hand.

Sensing that the man was making a threatening move, He Xi shouted angrily, "Put your hands up!"

The man was frightened by the voice and hurriedly raised his hands, staring at He Xi, as if trying to find some flaws in her.

The man in front of him was the "Yanhuo" in the photo. Although He Xi appeared calm on the surface, he felt a little nervous inside.

The situation was originally foolproof, but unexpectedly, Yanhuo was so cunning that he actually escaped from the encirclement and was able to run for so long even after being shot in the calf. It seems that he is not an easy character to deal with.

Moreover, the other party had raised his hands and stopped resisting, so He Xi had no reason to shoot again.

But her comrades were still on the way, and she was alone at the moment. She was not sure whether she could capture him, so she could only try her best to delay time and wait for the support of her comrades.

"I really let you escape. Should I call you Yanhuo? Or Ren Yan? Or someone else?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then smiled nonchalantly: "You were discovered. I have to say you are quite capable."

It turned out to be him. It seemed her guess was correct.

She bit her back teeth, her cheeks slightly puffed up, her excitement was self-evident. She could finally catch Mingmei's murderer with her own hands, and Mingmei's soul in heaven could rest in peace.

He Xi tried to calm down and gripped the gun tighter in his hand.

At present, a state of balance has been reached and neither side dares to act rashly.

If we just wait a little longer and our comrades arrive, we can bring "Yanhuo" to justice.

But at this moment, a creaking sound came from above the alley; it was the sound of a door opening.
He Xi subconsciously looked up and saw a basin of vegetable washing water falling from the sky. She was unable to dodge and was soaked like a drowned rat, and was temporarily blinded for a moment.

She quickly wiped the water from her eyes and opened her eyes. She was kicked hard and fell to the ground. Her gun also fell to the side. She saw Ren Yan trying to pick up the gun, so she hurried forward and wrestled with him.

We can't let him get the gun!
He Xi held his arm tightly, but Ren Yan turned over and grabbed her throat with his backhand, almost choking her to the point of suffocation. She was so angry that she hit his lower abdomen with her elbow. Ren Yan felt pain and loosened his grip. He Xi wanted to take the opportunity to get away, but the next second, she felt a heart-wrenching pain.

One knife, two knives, three knives...

The blood instantly dyed her clothes red. She lost her strength and crawled on the ground. Seeing Ren Yan picking up the gun and trying to escape, He Xi didn't care about anything else. She rushed over with all her strength and grabbed his legs tightly. No matter how he kicked and kicked, she refused to let go.

Ren Yan was furious and fired several shots at her until the magazine was used up. Unexpectedly, He Xi, with her iron will, refused to let go even though blood was flowing like a river.

The gunshot just now attracted the attention of other police officers, who finally locked the location and immediately took action, quickly concentrating on arresting him. Even after handcuffing him, He Xi still held on to him and refused to let go.

The ground was covered with He Xi's blood. Sun Chi burst into tears. "Sister Xi! Sister Xi! Hang in there, I'll take you to the hospital right away!"

She knew it was too late.

"Ren Yan, Yan Huo."
After He Xi said these four words, he felt sleepy.
He Yanyan's gentle voice came to my ears: "When the first ray of sunlight shines into the room in the morning, it means that the dark monster has been driven away by you."
Before she closed her eyes completely, she saw her sun, smiling at her.

The world stopped for ten seconds.

Ten seconds later, He Xi suddenly heard a series of exclamations, followed by excited and noisy discussions.

She opened her eyes suddenly, but found that it was pitch black in front of her and she could not see anything. Then, the light suddenly turned on and the world became bright again.
She was surprised to find that she was in her high school classroom at the moment and the people around her looked like her high school classmates.

What's going on? She's not dead?
Soon, He Jiahe, the discipline committee member sitting in the first row, stood up and shouted angrily at Qin Yiran who was sitting in the last row: "Qin Yiran! Everyone is studying, why did you turn off the lights?"

Qin Yiran made a face at He Jiahe, "Don't be angry, liven up the atmosphere."

He Jiahe? Qin Yiran?
He Xi observed their faces carefully and summed them up in two words: immature and green.

Just as I was wondering, two concrete figures, one black and one white, suddenly appeared in front of me. They seemed to be arguing about something.

The black man said: [Guess what she will choose this time? ]
The little white man said: [I think she is still the same as before. ]

He Xi felt like he was hallucinating and rubbed his eyes quickly, only to find that the two little men were still there.

At this time, the two little people seemed to notice He Xi's gaze, looked at her together, and said with a smile: [Welcome back to 2012! ]

He Xi frowned, 2012?

She looked around and then hurriedly rolled up her left school uniform sleeve.

Her arm had been shot in the previous action, leaving a gunshot wound. Seeing that the gunshot wound on her arm had disappeared and there were only bruises on her arm caused by Ning Xiaoduo's abuse, she suddenly realized what was going on and quickly patted the shoulder of the classmate in the front row and asked, "Zhou Yu, what time is it now?"

Zhou Yu glanced at her, a little hesitant, and after a while he whispered, "Third period evening study."

"No, what year is it this year?"

Zhou Yu seemed puzzled by her question, "What year is it today?", but she still answered honestly, "March 2012, 3."

October 2012, 3!
He Xi couldn't believe it. He stared at the two little men in front of him in amazement for a long time.

"Who are you two?" He Xi finally asked quietly.

The black man said: [I am the dark side of your heart. ]
The little white man said: [I am the bright side of your heart. ]

What? One thought to heaven, one thought to hell?
After all, He Xi had experienced something as outrageous as rebirth, so she didn't dwell on it. She simply asked, "So you are like angels and demons?"

Black Man: [Of course, we will only appear when you need us or when you are faced with a choice.]

"So you can give me a cheat code?"

White Man: [No, we are just the embodiment of your inner self.]

He Xi:?
Why do other people’s golden fingers become bigger and bigger after rebirth, but when it comes to her, her inner world becomes concrete?
Never mind. After all, rebirth is the greatest gift to her. He Xi accepted it calmly: "Okay, do whatever you want."

Jingle Bell--

The bell rang for the end of get out of class. He Xi was immersed in the joy of rebirth. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time until Zhou Yu in the front row patted her arm and said, "He Xi, someone is looking for you outside the classroom."

He Xi looked up at the classroom door and immediately caught sight of the girl with wavy hair—Ning Xiaoduo.

The school does not allow students to perm or dye their hair, but Ning Xiaoduo insisted that her hair is naturally curly, and the school turned a blind eye to her out of consideration for her parents.

He Xi withdrew his gaze, too lazy to pay attention to her, and turned his head to continue staring at his reflection in the glass.
A young and tender face, wow, it’s so good to be young.

Ning Xiaoduo was furious when she saw that He Xi, who had always obeyed her and done what she said, was now ignoring her and looking down on her.
One of her followers on the side added fuel to the fire and said, "Sister Ning, He Xi doesn't give you any respect at all."

Ning Xiaoduo couldn't bear it, so she spat and said, "She'll be in trouble after the evening study. Let's go!"
